FLUSHING SYSTEM.

Application filed November 29,

Specification of Letters Patent.

1912, Serial No. 734,026. Renewed May 15, 1914. Serial No. 838,667.

To all whom it may. concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM ALEXANDER FRASER, of the town of Georgetown, in the county of Halton, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flushing Systems, of which the following is the specification.

sanitary device for flushing systems and particularly relates to a patent granted by the United States Patent Office under No.

1,062,148 on May 20th, 1913, and the object.

device to the flushing pipe and a removablev valve support and valve located below the bottom of the sanitary device from which the pipe extends into the tank and from which the pipe extends into the flushingpipe, the parts being otherwise constructed and arranged as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure 1, is an elevation showing a flushing tank provided with my sanitary device which is shown in section. Fig. 2, is a vertical section through the sanitary device at right angles to the section of the sanitary device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is a plan view of the sanitary device. Fig. 4, is a perspective detail of the valve support for the device. Fig. 5, is a perspective detail of the valve. Fig. 6, is a section of the valve.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A is my flushing tank, the interior construction of which forms the subject matter of a separate application bearing even date herewith.

B is the sanitary device consisting preferably of a base B, a glass or transparent cylindrical portion B fitting within the annular flange B of the base and a top B having a depending flange B surrounding the top of the glass cylinder. The base B is provided with a reduced extension B internally threaded at the bottom and connected by a pipe C to the tank near the bottom.

B is an upwardly extending flange exteriorly threaded and forming a central opening or orifice at the top of the receptacle.

My invention relates to improvements in a B is a cap, which is interiorly threaded and provided with a cork or other disk B to make it liquid tight in a manner, which is commonly known.

B is a flanged central orifice in the base B in which is inserted a tube B provided with slots B near the top.

D is a set screw, which extends into the threaded top of the tube B and is designed to regulate the size ofvthe orifice B and thereby regulate the flow of the liquid through the same into the receptacle outside of the tube B. The receptacle is intended to be filled with any sanitary soluble antiseptic disinfecting substance either in disk, granulated or other suitable form.

E is a pipe leading from the base B into the flushing pipe F and closet and is provided with a perforated cap E to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.

G is the removable seat for the valve H controlling the supply of the sanitary disinfecting liquid. The seat G is provided with a flange G, a nut-shaped bottom G a portion G which is screwed into the interior of the extension B and the seat proper Gr having a central orifice G and supported by legs G, which leave openings G through which the liquid may pass freely, such openings being opposite the pipe C. The valve H is provided with depending legs H, a central orifice H a disk H made of rubber or other suitable material of a somewhat soft nature and is also provided with a depending portion H extending through the orifice H and through which extends a pin H of suflicient length, so as to hold the disk H in place (see Fig. 6). The bottom B and top B are held together by suitable bolts 2 extending through lugs formed on the top and bottom as indicated in Figs. 1 and 3.

The operation of my sanitary device is as follows. The receptacle, which is filled as hereinbefore described with a suitable disinfecting substance is formed as described. When the tank has been emptied in flushing the valve H drops and the water as the tank is being refilled passes through the pipe G into the bottom chamber of the receptacle around the valve H and up through the tube B and through the orifice B and out into the receptacle on to the disinfecting substance where the water is permeated with such substance and passes down through the perforated cap E pipe E into'the flushing pipe F. When the pressure rises in the tank sulficiently the I 1. In a sanitary device, the combination: with the tank and flushing pipe, of a san-. itary device for the re-fiush water comprising a pipe extending into the tank near the bottom, a base suitably connected to the pipe and provided with a chamber, a pipe leading from below the base to the flushing pipe, a centraltube leading from below the chamber upwardly and provided with an orifice in the top, a valve located at the bottom of the tube and above the level of the pipe leading into the bottom ofthe tank, a casing extending upwardly from the base and a cover for the casing,

as and for the purpose specified. I

2. In a sanitary device, a tank, a flushing pipe a receptacle comprising a base provided'with a downwardly extending portion forming a chamber, a pipe leading from said chamber into the bottom of the tank, a pipe leading from above the base into the flushing pipe, a central tube leading from the chamber below the base up wardly and provided with an orifice at the top, a casing located on the base and a suitable top for the casing and a valve located beneath the central tube as and for the purpose specified.

3. In a sanitary device, a tank, a flushing pipe a receptacle comprising agbase pro vided with a downwardly extending portion forming a chamber, a pipe leading from said chamber into the bottom of the tank, a pipe leading'from above the base into the flushing pipe,.a central tube. leading from the chamber below the base upwardly and provided with slots near the top, a set screw fittingintothe t'opof the tube and designed to regulate the side of the slots a casingand a suitable top for the casing and a valve located beneath the central tube as and fied.

4. In a sanitary device, atank, a flushing pipe a receptacle comprising a base provided with a downwardly extending porfor the purpose specition forming a chamber, a tube leading from i said chamber into the bottom of the tank, a pipe leading from above'the base into the flushing pipe, a central tube leading from the chamber below the baseupwardly and provided with an orifice at the top, a

casing located on the base, a suitable top for the casing, a disk valve providedwith suitable legs, a valve support provided with a threaded portion fitting into the bottom of the extension of the boss forming the chamber and having upwardly extending legs forming circumferentialopenings designed to be located on a level with the pipe leading into the tank and having an annular V top upon which the valve normally rests 5? as and for the purpose specified.
